Pucal, Working from a tablet or TV is indeed different. The left / right arrow helps with the slider where 1 arrow click is 100ms. If you don't have the arrow keys, then the slider is over sensitive. Shift subs by Frames or ms This can be found by quick math. 1000 / 24 = 41.667ms = 1 frame. If the media is 29.97, then 1000 / 29.97 = 33.367ms = 1 frame. The video changes on each frame. Moving the subs by 100ms can overshoot the sync you want with the video. Steps of 100ms will never be exact. Subs are not audio, so you don't notice as much, but why have values that don't match the video? There is no point. I think a slider or digital input by + - frames is nicer. Also much easier to input with keystrokes. 24fps make subs appear 3 frames earlier: -3 (two keystrokes) -125 (four keystrokes and you have to look up the value.) If you imagine that you may try several settings to see which is best, then you are using two to three times more keystrokes with ms versus frames. If you try 10 settings, then you click 40 to 60 more keystrokes using ms and have to look up every value. Not so nice.

Yha, I have the Android TV Version, removed and installed the Android version. thanks

any guess about this @Luke

Tried 4.9.1.3； Same issue，no acess to emby sever

Are you on Beta server? Edit: Nevermind, found the thread.

TV's work different to VLC, and in this case the Samsung TV cannot automatically rotate some images. In this case, we need to force it to be rotated on the server. This capability is coming on the server but is not available yet. As soon as it is, the Samsung Emby app will be able to rotate the image correctly

OK I have tried "direct play" settings and it makes no difference - video still playing upside down. Why does the video play perfectly in VLC or any other video app when played directly off my drive and not through EMBY?

OK so can someone please tell me how I know if this is "direct play" or "transcode" as I have no clue. What setting to I tweak please?

Hello. Is there an intention to do something about HWA Encoding having no quality settings? (as well as needing 8 seconds to start playback when HWA is enabled) It's a burning topic for me, so I couldn't just wait for a reply

That is weird, removed the group access from user home, and everything is playing, hope it stil goes after a restart! oh never mind i was on local access and not through vpn. So no Solution. I will ditch app and keep using web app, until a build fix it. Thanks

Found what was the problem, up to latest versions of android i had given r/w/e only to my user home directory and was working fine for years, today i added the group to home directory permissions , dunno why its working now. that in case it helps someone, but wonder if its an ovelooked config in android app, as its not common to give group full permition to users HOME directory. USER HOME IS PRIVATE! Please take a look on next version, if you need any more data , ask me.

I found it here, thanks

Hi, Luke. Is this option configurable on the webui? Or can it only be set via the API? I updated to the 4.9.1.3 beta version. But I don't seem to see this option

Ok well please read the link that I just posted to you, all the information you require is documented there. Just follow the guide.

Been working fine for me for since April without having to change to the beta servers and plugin 12

No idea, I just replaced it before I had plex and it was going by itself here I don't know how it works how to activate the remote connection please?

Is your Emby Server configured for remote connections? Connecting from Client Apps

@hectorzaneThat looks very interesting, but I don't think I have the time to try it, I might have some free time next week.

connection error whether in the vehicle or on the Android application what should I do please thank you

This is a really exciting development—using Whisper for live video translation has so much potential, especially for international users. It’ll be interesting to see how well it handles different accents and real-time speed. For situations where human accuracy is still needed (especially with nuanced languages like Japanese), I’ve found this interpreter service quite useful: https://www.translation.pk/japanese-interpreter/

Why should suddenly 20% of my images all of a sudden need a repair - all taken with same camera, all viewable with other softwasre, not just Synology Photos - I rather believe Emby needs a repair ...

The issue with 12.5.7 is still happening. Just updated Emby on an old ipad and now it crashes on launch. I should have known better than to update the app without checking the forums first, the dev teams here seem to do this kind of bug introduction more than now. I learned my lesson, never update the emby until lots of other people have and never update even then unless you search for your OS version in the forums. I won't make this mistake again. Thanks Devs.

Same here. On Kodi 22 or CoreELEC 22, movies can't be synced, but dynamic nodes work. Sync nodes can only sync TV shows and music over. Not sure if the latest 12.** plugin supports this now?

This is really simpler to understand. I followed your instructions and it works. Thank you very much for your help.

Thanks for your thorough response @visproduction This may be a "just me" situation but to add my context: > I mainly use a Tablet (iPad) or a TV to consume my Emby media, when on a TV I would prefer to not need a keyboard (use CEC form HDMI to control things), and many TV remotes do add some latency to the input key or cap the speed of repetition of a key, so slower "clicking" of options, but I still get a nice keypad number on the remote. > I host Emby for my brother, zero technical knowledge, and not a power user, who's 2 devices actually connect remotely to my Emby (VPN to keep my network from having other ports open) > I run Emby Server as a docker instance in my HomeServer Returning to the topics 1) Yes, I agree, a subtitle offset memory per user, just as it can store playback position per user. 2) I assumed that asking Emby to determine the correct framerate based on the video would be a lot more work and testing for the devs. than just having a box I can select and type/key-input the desired number. Having uneven jumps in scrolling could also confuse a basic user when increasing/decreasing the time of the subs. Jumping from 0 to ... lets say, 20 seconds using the arrow key from a TV remote is awful. The tablet is more hit / miss thing, faster with the slider but as you are pointing out, no fractions smaller than 100ms so no perfect syncing and making the arrows go lower than 100ms would add pain to someone that wants to jump to 20 seconds... (again, assuming no keyboard is involved). 3) and 4) I have OpenSubtitles plugin set up. No, it does not ask me for the name of the subtitles and in the Subtitle menu sometimes I end up with a repeated name for the subtitle or with just an "(SRT)", no language indicated. Real scenario, we had some family visiting and their kids didn't speak English, so we wanted Spanish subtitles. There was a sync issue so we ended up downloading additional subtitles, and they all ended up having the exact same display name in the subtitle menu, nothing to differentiate them. I'm attaching a screenshot. If my brother, or other users end up downloading extra subtitles for any reason, I wouldn't want to do cleanup after them entering my NAS and searching for the files, comparing, etc...each time they do. I much rather prefer to be able to "allow/disallow" subtitle renaming/deletion on this menu. Emby does not pull the actual filename of the subtitle, I'm not even expecting Emby to be able to change the filename. And yes, a "confirm" box after the change wold be ideal, again, for those users that have the permission. 5) As I said, outlier case but: From my iPad I'm on a IoT VLAN and so is my brother, we don't see the NAS from there. Also, just cleanliness of the process. iPad or PC, if Emby is already handling my subtitle management most of the time, why do I have to browse folders to get to upload a subtitle? I would prefer a more integrated experience, and Emby already knows where to put the file. This also would allow any other user with the right permissions (i.e., my brother) to upload a subtitle even if they don't have direct access to the NAS. Obviously I would restrict the filetype even if that's not a perfect security measure, but the permissions per user plus the filetype restriction might be sufficient. Not so far removed from also being able to upload individual movies directly from the GUI, but I don't want to deviate too much from the subtitle theme. 6) ..., same as 5, this point is a total stretch and I would not expect Emby to have VTT service within it. I was thinking on a way to connect it to a different external tool, and maybe self hosted (the idea of the plugin would be just to connect, or send the command to the external tool), the tool could get from Emby 2 things, the File path and the requested language. The plugin could send a command to the external tool (Docker instance of Whisper to keep things clean and separate) with the selected parameter (language) and the file's known path. If nothing else, Emby would automatically pick up the new subtitle after the next library scan. Whisper is a nice and simple tool to implement that can even be triggered through command line. Again, this is way past the other 5 ideas, but more and more self-hosted AI TTS and STT modules are out there (i.e, HomeAssitant integrations), so, it may be something to have on the radar. ...respectfully and hoping not to be a nag hehehe
